rEAEY can do, through the
ZR@GI printing of sample
EN ~ sketches of their hand
ID. E5Sg iwOrk illustrating fa-
M<NN1ss miliar sayings or eX-
Vt pressiOnS, keeping the
cartoon idea more clearly in view. The
invitation to contribute sketches has
been responded to in a very liberal way,
and the scores of sketches received give
ample evidence of the fact that talent of
high order lies dormant among the
young people of the Northwest who
have artistic instinct, which only re-
quires opportunity to developer course,
good deal of the work submitted is
of a crude character, but the idea is
plainly shown, and that is the fOunda-
ton stone of artistic success. If out of
all the young artists who contributed
sketches there should not develop
great genius some day the GLOBE will
be disappointed.
The sketches were submitted for ex-
animation to j. ID. Larpenteur, one of
the most competent artists in America,
and X. D. Sweeney, who, although not
engaged i'll the profession, is recognized
as one Of the most capable of art critics.
These gentlemen gave the matter their
careful and conscientious attention, land,
after due deliberatiOn, awarded the first
place of merit to B. Smith, of Blue
Earth City. His sketch was an illustra-
ton of the saying, "a Rolling Stone
Gathers No MOSS"-a simple picture of
a tramp, with walking stick and a
bundle over his shoulder. The sketch
was strong and effective, however, and
showed that the artist had true instinct
and proper conception. The committee
was at a loss to decide between this and
another sketch by Mr.. Smith as to which
was
REALLY ENTITLED TO FIRST PLACE,
and SO they decided to give both the
same position, with slight preference
for the one named. The second sketch
was that of three old women engaged in
gesticulating wildly. birds of q
Feather Flock Together" The facial
expression is particularly good. Second
place was awarded to an anonymous
contributor from Eau Claire, whose sill
houette, "Spring, Beautiful Spring.
was quite effective, representing 'Ro-
nance" and Reality young lady
walking among the flowers and another
day under an umbrella in a rain storm.
Third place was awarded to F. B. HEX
man, of Anoka, who illustrated 1.-The
Early Bird Catches the Worm'' very
good; fourth to A. Wage, of st.
Roll By zone Of the best 'No Of
all the collection, the fifth place of
honor to an unknown from st. Paul, who
did a clever bit of work with the ex-
preston, $50 Near and Yet So Far"

place for his capital conception of 1.-TWO
